Dr. Dai Zhenyu
In cases of mild nerve injury, conservative treatment is primarily recommended, which mainly involves the use of neurotrophic medications, along with blood-activating and stasis-resolving agents for comprehensive management. It is essential to ensure adequate rest and avoid excessive hand movement to facilitate further symptom improvement. However, if the nerve injury is severe, surgical intervention may be necessary.
